Had this engine quite a few years but i thought i'd share a photo when it was brand new:

I think it is one of Wilesco's most affordable engines and a great introduction to steam, it is also very nicely proportioned and has some power as shown in the video below:

Nice photos.

Agree about the D6... it was the engine my Dad brought home 48 years ago.

Gotta say, Wilesco managed functionality AND good looks in their engines...definitely a look of their own.

Thanks guys, it is a very nice 'Toy' engine and very controllable when fired on gas.  :)
